Product Description
Let the Manhunt begin! when Luke enters the gay bar flanked by his sidekicks, he doesn t know that he is about to meet his match in hot macho man Stephen. Awakening in a twisted heap of naked strangers, Luke heads to work at a Chelsea sex store where he is forced to face his lifestyle by his co-worker Zeke, a confrontational gay crusader who will stop at nothing short of changing the world.
Up the street, actor/waiter Peter is moving in with his long time boyfriend Derek. His restaurant boss Marilyn is maniacally planning her wedding, but when her AA sponsor, Trisha, declares her attraction, Marilyn s sobriety and marriage may be in jeopardy.
Smitten with Stephen, Luke considers giving monogamy a chance. He attends a sexual compulsives meeting where he discovers he is not the only nympho in New York. Luke is falling for Stephen, but it soon turns out that Stephen s cash doesn t flow from a trust fund; he works hard for his money as a hustler!
A relationship between a playboy and a prostitute depends on whether that is the only secret Stephen is keeping. Among party boys, monogamists, addicts and activists, Luke s quest may unearth answers his heart is not ready to handle. The protagonists ultimately realize that being true to yourself may be the best way to deal with the many complications of A Four Letter Word called love.

 Hurray for an upbeat gay film!! November 30, 2008
This film is a light-hearted blast to watch. The characters are lovable and the writing is very clever. An extraordinary achievement for a low budget. There are laughs and even an unexpected twist. Pop this one in and cheer yourself up.

I knew a film maker who died very suddenly and I remember thinking: "What does a film maker leave behind?" This thought was the seed that sprouted the movie: Beatific Vision.
I found myself thinking of a secret film that a character would leave behind when he dies. Not one he wished not to be found but one he planned to be found. More than a final will and testament this film was a "Beatific Vision", a view into the future of all characters and a clear mapping of the coincidences that would occur.
As I began to write the screenplay the voice of the Angel started to speak softly and occasionally. Upon many re-writes the Angel voice was vieing for main character status. I tried to reel in the angel but he (Angel Chad) wrestled control away from me.
When another close friend was passing to the other side, she added a strong dose of acceleration to the writing process. There now are so many Angels (most recently my Mother) involved, I feel I am at best the living hands to this project.
When I was a small boy my parents used to call me: Angel Michael when they wanted my behavior to change. I actually grew up thinking I was an angel including my sprouting scapula wings. Today, I do not think I am an angel but I surely believe that I am their vehicle for expression on earth.
Thank-you angels for this "angels on earth" experience!

Great November 18, 2008
One of the best movies of the year. It is only too bad that independent films never get the regonition they deserve. Definately a must see.

What could easily be dismissed at first, A Four Letter Word, offers us a glimpse into the world of Luke, played by the fabulous, Jesse Archer, who rambles through life and meets Stephen, played by Charlie David. The frivolity of their gay world never seems funnier then when these two get together, but when I thought about it, I realized that these two characters co-created by director, Caspar Andreas and Mr. Archer break through sexual mores without utilizing the typical devices and constructs that are likened to most other gay movies. I am intrigued to see what comes next from these two gifted men, and I hope they don't spend too much time worrying what others have to say about their movies, including myself. A Four Letter Word is funny, frivolous, and fraught with issues most other gay movies wouldn't dare get entangled in.

This is a step above most gay themed movies. I enjoyed the humor and drama, the acting was good, and it's one I'll watch again.
